FIRST START? Porsche 911 Carrera M96 after complete rebuild.....

[@justinhedrick5656]

You've done service to the entire 996 community with such great documentation. Thank you!

[@ManinaGarage]

Thank you for taking the time to comment Justin 🙌 when researching the various aspects of this project I really began to feel for the next poor bastard that might have to figure out this minefield 😳 if a few more people get to have some fun with their friends and family in these cars AND sleep at night, it’s worth it. I really feel that this was a group effort. MANY of the solutions to the many problems came from generous viewers. It’s difficult to truly convey how amazing it has been to be at the receiving end of all this support. Regardless of anything to do with fancy cars, this experience has reassured me that earthlings are inherently good and generous beings. Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@Mustang_Chris]

This has been the most thorough and detailed engine experience I've ever seen, and I'm an engine builder. You've also made it a pleasure to to watch. Thank you. I look forward to seeing you enjoy the driving bits.

Thank you NATE!!! 🙌 Now if only I could find a way to keep up on the comments section 😅 Thank you for being an OG 🤘😎

[@keithlightbody2841]

I have to admit as was very nervous as you went through the final checklist at start up time. You did great. Consider allowing the computer to reset. Simple procedure. Key on, meet ambient conditions, wait 90 seconds and then start. There is a detailed write up on the Renn forum. You have provided the best content on this subject when viewed by all technical, production and entertainment categories. Well done.

[@ManinaGarage]

Aha! That is news to me, thank you Keith, I shall research. Thank you for watching 🤘😎

[@stefanshapiro1245]

Huge congrats on this big step. We've all been there with the temperature sensor grommet. When mounting the exhaust headers you can screw one or two studs in (M8 bolts with heads cut off will work) for easier alignment. Looking forward to seeing you on the road.

[@ManinaGarage]

That is good advice, it's unexpected things like lining up that bloody exhaust that can keep you up till midnight 🤣😂. This week is the horror of the Transmission.......... Thank you for watching 🤘😎 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIrOla2rnM6Motk

[@crisaboar]

I’ve had the pleasure of being on this ride since you had only a dozen or so videos up and it coincided with my research into purchasing my first 911 from this controversial generation. Since those early beginnings I have managed to get myself behind the wheel of one since August but will forever be grateful to you for creating not just entertaining but extremely educational content that has build my confidence in my purchase and future work will be performing on my own car. Congratulations on the first start, Happy new year and looking forward to future videos and maybe even a PCA meetup in a few years when I’ll drive mine down to your warmer climate. Cheers from another optimistic fellow earthling!

[@ManinaGarage]

Hello Cristian, I really appreciate you being a part of this 🙌 These thing are scary until you know about them, knowledge is power ✊ There is a PCA cruise + Cars & Coffee event in San Diego next weekend, it might be worth joining just for that event.

BRAVO! It Lives! For those of us owning a 996 (or 986) and DIY'ers your series will be so valuable. With these cars it seems just a matter of time as sooner or later we will need to either write big checks and get the work done or write medium sized checks to buy the parts and do the work ourselves. Looking forward to the first drive.

The second first drive is coming soon! Thank you for watching 🤘😎

Its uncanny how much of the 986 is just like the 996. Your videos were helpful as I was doing a full rebuild of a Boxster S at the same time. Looking forward to seeing you get this on the road.

Excellent series Fin. A tip I have for lining up unwieldy gaskets with bolt holes is to use a tapered punch to align the bolt hole and gasket then thread in the nut. Your series is inspiring me to buy a 911 with a problematic engine and rebuilding.

Make sure you bleed the cooling System properly , it has to be done under vacuum if You haven‘t acces to a vacuum device then Go to your local Porsche dealer and let them do the job , make sure to NOT over heat the Engine. Nice Job, I‘ve bought a M96 engine with crankshaft problems for small Money and I‘m going to do the same except my engine gets Carillo rods and Hartech cylinders !!

[@ManinaGarage]

[@breganzane]

Congratulations! Always a very satisfying moment when a rebuilt motor fires up (without blowing up!), even more so for such a difficult first time project. And the best thing is that while you've been doing it, the 996 has finally gained respect (hence value) significantly so your investment of time and money should be easily recouped when/if you move it on. Once the engine is confirmed as good, are you going to continue on and fix up the rest of the car? That steering wheel makes me wince! :) Well done on the channel by the way, the episodes are informative, entertaining, funny, and extremely well produced. Do you have prior experience with this sort of thing or are you just an all round clever clogs who can turn his hand to anything and do it well?

[@ManinaGarage]

He! He! Thank you Andrew, that wheel thing is going to be a pain in the butt to fix, I'll try 🤓

[@Fred82ndAbn]

Congrats Finn! Sounds like you may probably have a vacuum or intake leak somewhere. It happened to me one time after taking off the plenum. One of the boots was not seating/sealing correctly. A liitel squirt of brake cleaner around it while the engine is running can confirm that. If the revs go up, you have a leak somewhere that area. Otherwise, the engine sounds healthy (no metal noises is always good sign, lol) Looking forward to you enjoying all your hard work. Outstanding job! Saludos!!

[@ManinaGarage]

[@YogisGarage]

Well done Finn! I feel your pain on getting to those relays! As you know I had to replace the steering lock on my 996 and getting under there was horrible. As far as the sound of your engine, it sounds like it's just in need of a heat cycle so that the rings and gaskets can settle in then it'll stop misfiring. I'm sure if you plugged in an OBD you'll see the ECU complaining of that. So glad you took the lead on this rebuild mate. I now know how to put everything back. Your daughter is a trooper standing back there. Happy New Year!!

[@ManinaGarage]

Hello Mike, that’s a very good point. There must be all kinds of combustible and less combustible liquid residue all through this engine. That’s why I was not overly upset with getting generic spark plugs, I figured they will be getting thrown out in 500 miles (or less 🤣) Some have suggested old gasoline l, despite the stabil. I may drain the tank try again. Thank you for watching and supporting 🤘😎 happy new year 🍻

I think your daughter was saying wheeze, cough & gag dad! Good thing you didn't keep trying to take the nuts off of those exhaust flanges, as they love to snap off and then you need 6 studs, 6 nuts and 2 triple holed copper flange gaskets and the studs are splined too; requires heat and a punch to drive them out. Fire in the hole!

Hello Warren, thats an important heads up, you rock 🙌 I didn't want to get involved in a rusty tragedy while also trying to start the engine for the first time.

Document the process of making repairs/replacement of the key wear and tear components including a paint correction, then prepare the car for auction. And not a Trailer Park auction company like Mecum, but Barret Jackson. Document the entire process from listing the car, filling out the forms, filing fees and then all the expenses associated with what it would cost the normal everyday car guy to enroll the car, travel, hotel, meals etc. then follow thru to auction day and what the car sold for, and what the REAL market value is for a well done up daily driver 996, versus what PCA wants you to think the car is worth:) Then take those proceeds and start again.
